Places of the Crusades

The Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem Jerusalem is the "Holy City" that the Muslims took over to spark the pope into declaring the war to regain the kingdom. This is the city that the Crusades where centered around. The three main religious groups(Jews, Christians, and Muslims) at the time all believe that this is the most holy city in the world.

City of Acre Acre was used as a safe place to stay for the Crusaders that traveled all way from the Roman Empire. This was used as a fort in the Crusades that the Armies could stay at without giving full advantage to the Islamic attacks. It also helped them out because it served as a seaport for import of food and troops from the far away Empire of Rome.
